Should Christian business people decline serving homosexual marriages?

English: The Supreme Court of the United States. Washington, D.C. Français : La Cour suprême des États-Unis. Washington D.C., États-Unis. ‪Norsk (bokmål)‬: Høyesterett i USA. Washington, D.C. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Some Christians have quickly distanced themselves from these laws ( Andy Stanley , Jonathan Merritt, Kirstin Powers ), while the media has shown that, as a general rule, it lacks even a rudimentary understanding of what is at stake here. The net result is that anyone who doesn’t have a firm grasp on the Bible’s teaching about this issue is being swept up in the tide of public opinion. So swift is the tide that even the senators who voted for the law in Arizona a few weeks ago are now publically renouncing their “yes” vote and asking the governor to veto it.

Homosexual forcing Christians

Plodding through the news this week has been an attempt in both Arizona and Kansas to pass laws that specifically protect business owners from being forced to sell their services to celebrate gay “marriage” ceremonies.

Andy Stanley, Al Mohler, and Homosexuality

Author of article: Andrew Marin. Andrew forgets to mention that this backslidden man and his partner sort to serve in another North Point Church hence indicating their lack of understanding of the gravity and offense of the sin of homosexuality .  Second, (it appears) Stanley did not follow biblical discipline on the father and his partner because the campus pastor(s) of the other site either was not aware of the situation by allowing them to fulfill hosting roles or they simply accommodated the situation. This is standard behaviour perform your sin, leave church and go quietly to another without confession of sin. Thatis what occurred here and ahppens in many church when people seek to hide sin.  Andrew incorrectly stacks Mohler's worldview against Stanley. This is not correct. ...........................................................................................................
